What is the point of having a mod if this crap is allowed to go on for days.This place is dying a slow bigoted death.
Why are you trying to shame the legacy of the One of Britain's best ever football managers by spreading those bogus rumors?
Excatly... Even those who were affected by the events never attached any blame to Jock... Disgraceful.
A lot of Old Firm fans are a pain in the arse. Please don't associate a great and proud Scottish club like Dundee United with them.
Not going to happen, it will either be Rangers or Premiership and i pray it's the Premiership. Don't think Rangers could afford him anyway, he is worth more than they can pay unless DUFC allow themselves to be mugged off. I've read a few newspapers say the Premiership clubs interested are Fulham, Everton, Newcastle and Birmingham City.
That post never mentioned your ex manager, it just mentioned that your the only club I am aware of that has had such a famous sex scandal linked to it- that is fact. As for it being a lie that Big Jock knew? not accordin to your ex chairman. Have a read at this court report from the Daily Record at the time of the trial. It was testified in court that Jock Stein knew what was going on. from the daily record. JOCK Stein and the Celtic board covered up allegations made against Boys' Club founder Jim Torbett, it was claimed yesterday. Torbett, who is now accused of abusing three boys while he was at the club, was literally kicked out of Parkhead by Stein, a court heard. But when the claims subsequently surfaced, Celtic manager Stein and the directors were anxious to keep the image of the club clean and nothing more was done about them. The claim was made by former Celtic Boys' Club chairman Hugh Birt, 61, who said he felt "fabulous" when the Daily Record broke a story about Torbett two years ago. Mr Birt told Glasgow Sheriff Court that when he first heard about the allegations he didn't have enough evidence to go to the police. Asked how he now felt about giving evidence against Torbett, he replied: "It's a tremendous relief for me because I have been carrying it about for 25 years." He said he was asked to be chairman when Torbett was "put out" of the Boys' Club. Asked who got rid of him, Mr Birt said: "According to Mr Stein, he literally put his foot up his backside and kicked him out. It was all covered up by Celtic as to why." He admitted that he had a good relationship with Torbett, who returned to the Boys' Club as a fund-raiser several years later. Mr Birt said: "There was a lot of hearsay and it wasn't until Jim came back that I got involved because things started up again." He told how he took the allegations against Torbett to the Celtic board and Stein and even told the then vice-chairman, Kevin Kelly, about them at a meeting in his car. He said: "Although there were people who spoke to me I couldn't go to the police without actual proof of the allegations. When I joined as chairman, I was told by Jock Stein to keep the name of Celtic Football Club clean at all times."
I'm a Dundee United fan and those highlights are nice but i thought a boxing forum would spare us the usual mundane Old Firm atrocious banter, you're both shite skint clubs and you're pish like every other team in this country, deal with it. You're also as bad and as bigoted as one another and i've seen it first hand.
Amen. That's my last comment on it. I come on here to discuss boxing not the usual pish I end up emboilled in on every other forum.
Why didn't you ignore the thread then? Instead of fuelling the fire? You make it sound like you had no choice to get involved in this.
Because I find it difficult to ignore Celtic fans taking the moral high ground over issues when they have no right. I
Well shut the **** up about it so. If you can't resist posting in retaliation you have no right to complain or take the moral high ground yourself as you are clearly on their level.
I don't take any moral high ground or act superior you ****ing mongol- Celtic have the monopoly on that.
